Hi everybody, I thought I'd create a thread for those who are applying to the UBC BSN program for the 2023 application cycle. Please feel free to drop any questions and share your background/experiences! ?

I got a 1 on Casper, 3 on grades (79% last 30 credits), 3 on supplemental. I have a BSc already, have been working in clinical research at a hospital for 2 years, as well as a lot of hospital volunteering, so those experiences really helped me ? 

I'm not surprised I ranked low on supplemental as it was my first time applying so I wasn't sure what the essay reviewers look for, and knew my grades would be a bit on the low side too. But ppl with GPAs not in 80/90s!! There is hope for us LOL!! Good luck to everyone on the waitlist - I hope we all get in!!

Oh that's so interesting! I scored 1 on Casper, 2 on Supplemental, and 3 on admissions average but I'm 24th in line LOL I wonder how it's ranked but it could be good to know that scores don't mean everything? 

For stats, I also have a BSC and have 5 years of medical work experience in medical offices and hospitals (if that helps for future applicants)!

It might be the ranking of the actual scores that get sent to the school. I'm pretty sure that Casper shows us the percentile, but actually gives the schools a score. So it could be possible to be in the first quartile for your specific test date but not on all the applications!
